2:3:0 Tandem Vid of Dave and 2 FF with Jason... Liked the way she pulled her knees up just as Dave was about to throw the drogue, sent them into a sideways flop... Right over left, cool! Anybody know when the weekend numbers started or by who? I know it was before the new format... Billy Natural Born FlyerZ.com

Steve, Sorry I missed the part with your experiance,, it was late and I assumed you were a wanna be cowboy from New York .. then I saw your that you were in Stevensville and I had to laugh... Your right about "good trainers" and feel lucky we found one for our last colt... I am more uneasy on a green horse than on almost any skydive, ya just never know what will set them off... Know what ya mean too about some horses not worth the time, and sure ya've seen folks sink lots of it along with a boat load of $$ and still have a knot head... too bad she wasn't started better for ya but hope ya can work the kinks out... Hope to meet ya at LP! Billy Natural Born FlyerZ.com

I Love'em, Butt, I am as careful about them as any jump. I rasied and started colts for years, but now leave the first few rides to a trainer. If he's running off and jumping shit he's scared to death. Look around and you'll see you probably did it to him. A good round pen with room for him to move is a great tool, but like any tool can be used poorly. The trainers mentioned are a must read, but putting that into practice is a skill that not everyone can learn from a book. Most skills that can get your hurt or killed we seek professional help with learning. There's lots you can do that will help, and even more that will screw things up. If you really want a horse you can trust and be safe with, you will need more training than it. There are no short cuts. Any horse will know when a good rider is on top, and will know if its a green rider that doesn't know what they're doing. That makes a green horse nervous and unpredictable. There's a saying with training hosres I found to be true; Green+Green=black and blue. Any time you get on a green horse you are training it, and how it responds is a direct reflection of the job your doing,, I find it damn humbling at times! If you can, take him to a clinic where your both students, but be patient, he isn't ready yet for what your askin... Good luck & Happy Trails PS.. We don't start ours under saddle untill they're 3y/o also, good point! Natural Born FlyerZ.com

Hey Flockers,, Woring on something and would like to get some .KML (Google Earth) files of jumps you may have until I get a gps of my own, which may a bit yet as I wait for the new Garmin to come out. Anything really will work and I will give more info later if I can work a bug out. E-mail them to me at: bhacurly@comcast.net Thanx guys, Billy Natural Born FlyerZ.com

I just got my copy, Ordered it Tuesday so quick 2 day delivery as they advertized. It isn't what I expected, it's a hell of a lot better and wish I got it way sooner. Any wingsuit flyer, especially those of us just starting out, should read it IMHO. Congrats to everyone involved, great job... Natural Born FlyerZ.com

Have fun, and fly safe,, look forard to the picts an video! BJ won't even talk to me now Natural Born FlyerZ.com

Maybe I should wait for the Titan!?? Looks awesome! What GPS specs do you look for? Like a "refresh" rate for getting as many readings during freefall... again sorry but this is all new for me. There are several units I see from cheap to several hundreds$$ So thanks for being specific about which model! Billy Natural Born FlyerZ.com

Hi Gang, My Pro Dytter has crapped out... Good! I wanted a new sumthing anyway... please excuse my ignorance I'd like a PC interfacing unit, and I like the GPS stuff that allows you to see your flight path, ie with "Google Earth." I don't even know what else is available. Apparently there isn't an audible altimeter/GPS unit, am I correct?? So you must be using some combo of the 2 units?? What software are you using also?? It seems many of you are using these high tech toys so which do you like and why?? Any links would be appreciated also as I hope to pull together some of this info for future flyers to find easier in a search.... Thanks Flockers! Billy Natural Born FlyerZ.com

I found with the kit lens trying to get anything on manual focus was a joke... Like you said it is loose, and moves enough even with tape to make this difficult. Leave the tape on one time and you can burn up your servo after switching back to AF. I had much better luck with the AF and using a small appeture if light allows, and flying to maximize what light you have... Ultimately dude,, ya wanna spend some money on a good lens Natural Born FlyerZ.com
